Still other places needed new sub floors installed. Other places in the room we had to go down to the sub floor. Most of the kitchen had vinyl floors that were in good shape. We were working with an 1880 home that has had multiple additions, fixes, and changes. The time you take to prep the floor will be worth every moment. Vinyl tiles will eventually pick up the underlying texture of the subfloor. Part of that reason is the time involved in properly prepping the floors. Prepping the floor is everything!!
